Story Of Mrs. W- Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH IJIJMy garden blossoms pink and white | A |
A place of decorous murmuring | B |
Where I am safe from August night | A |
And cannot feel the knife of Spring | B |
- | |
And I may walk the pretty place | C |
Before the curtsying hollyhocks | D |
And laundered daisies round of face | C |
Good little girls in party frocks | D |
- | |
My trees are amiably arrayed | E |
In pattern on the dappled sky | F |
And I may sit in filtered shade | E |
And watch the tidy years go by | F |
- | |
And I may amble pleasantly | G |
And hear my neighbors list their bones | H |
And click my tongue in sympathy | G |
And count the cracks in paving stones | H |
- | |
My door is grave in oaken strength | I |
The cool of linen calms my bed | J |
And there at night I stretch my length | I |
And envy no one but the dead | J |
